5 East 78th Street, 2/3

Step back in time in this majestic triplex that is resplendent in every conceivable way. A separate entryway adjacent to the main townhouse entrance reveals a stately foyer with original detail still in tact. The second floor can be reached up the stairs or via the elevator in the townhouse lobby. This floor features a grand living room, replete with turn-of-the-century detail and room proportions that are unheard of today. Down the hall from the living room is the elegant dining room, complete with a wood burning fireplace and a Juliet balcony. A large kitchen, maids room and 1.5 bathrooms are also on this floor. Perched above on the third floor are the living quarters. 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms are all incredibly large with high ceilings. The master bedroom is one-of-a-kind. There are 2 bathrooms, 2 dressing rooms, a wood burning fireplace, incredible closet space and amazing windows - all in the master bedroom. The other two bedrooms both have en-suite bathrooms and wonderful views of East 78th Street. All floors can be accessed by an elevator or by stairs. The Barclay Mansion is one of the finest examples of Beaux-Arts mansions in New York City. The owner is willing to renovate this home to fit the tastes of its next occupant.
